Injury Prevention Program

Trauma is the major cause of death and disability worldwide between the ages of one to 44. From a child’s fall on a playground to a motor vehicle collision, trauma affects us all, regardless of age, race or economic status. Though there are many deaths, more people survive their injuries, suffering life-long physical, mental and financial challenges.

Huntington Memorial Hospital’s level II Trauma Center is dedicated to the prevention of unintentional injuries and deaths. The goal is to improve the health of the community by preventing injuries and improving the quality of life through education. We do this by providing information, services and resources on preventable injuries.
